CncIsNA1I, Aug. "a clerical scandal
Is agitating the yarious German esangel-
ical churches of the city, and bids fair to
produce a great sensation and interrupt
the pleasant relations heretofore existing
between them. Rev. j.. @. Kraemer, OF
st. Louis, came here to the pastorate OF
st. Peters Evangelical church. Shortly
before a letter from Minneapolis stated
that Mr.. Kraemer had served three years
in a German prison for embezzlement
while in the German postal service years
ago. Other letters have confirmed this.
Some of the other ministers have made
vigorous opposition to Rev. Mr.. Kraemer
taking charge of his church, and othera
have taken his part. Kraemer does not
deny the charge, but says 81 twenty
years Of honorable and right living can
not atone for a fault, Christian charity is
meaningless.

JOLIET, ILL.,, Aug. 9.-The case Of Mrs.
John Herbert, a cataleptic Of seven
months standing in this place, and
which has been noted from time to time,
has come to be the most noted case on
record. For five months Mrs. Herbert
lay In a sleep perfectly helpless, eating
nothing but liquid food, which was forced
down the throat, never opening the eyes
or apparently moving n muscle.
Her case attracted the attention OF DR.,

moved tc the institution over which he
presides. He began a Treatment Of cleo

almost a skeleton.
The st. Loufs Globe Democrat correB-
pendent visited her 40 the hospital and
found her slowly improving. She rises
up, sits down, and walks obedient to the
Will OF DIR. Curtiss, but her eyes remain
closed and she does not utter q word,
She is like the silent ghost. While DIR.
Curtiss WIS experimenting with her and
compelling her, like an automaton, to
obey his will, he gave the following
statement, illustrating 1t with the patient.
DR.. Curtiss said:

She is improving under treatment here.
Her condition, however, is still catalaptic.
She has gained strength, and walks about

Mr.. Adams said ~ have been in the

be indignant at the wholesale slaughter
inflicted upon the clauses of the bill by
the house and talk wildly of proposing
the restoration OF some of them, but as
the tory lords will now swallow anything
In order to return ~unionist members to
the house there Is no likelihood that the
measure will be further modified, amen
ded or augmented. Some little discus
sion will probably give forciblsexpression
